Hi, I've been using FreeBSD for years, so I'm familiar with the setup. I just got a server, supermicro motherboard, 4 intel NICs, installed the FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-amd64-disc1. uname reports FreeBSD11.1-RELEASE #0 321309. Unfortunately the igb NIC's don't appear to work correctly. With no VLAN igb0 and igb3 (the only two I tried) will transmit packets but not receive them (switch sees the MAC, destination host sees packet). If I turn on VLAN, then nothing is transmitted either (the switch never sees a MAC address on the port). I've certified two cables, neither makes a difference. Occasionally the ports don't detect the cable has been removed and still reads active instead of no carrier. Feels like a driver problem....any clues? Tomorrow I'll try a direct cable into a laptop, then failing that I suppose I'll svn the latest 11.1 source and start building a new world. Appreciate any help folk can provide -- lee
